In a stunning turn of events that underscores its global appeal, the blockbuster film Saiyaara achieved a rare feat on 3rd Friday – earning more at the overseas box office than it did in India. While the film’s domestic run has been massive, its continued rampage in international markets signals a new level of stardom for Indian cinema on the world stage.
According to a report from Pinkvilla, Saiyaara kicked off its third week with a phenomenal USD 800,000. The film’s total overseas gross now stands at nearly USD 13 million, with projections indicating it will comfortably cross the USD 15 million mark by the end of this weekend.
UK Box Office Enters A Frenzy
The United Kingdom is leading the charge in what can only be described as a box office frenzy. The film raked in a staggering GBP £150,000 on its third Friday, a stunning 12% increase from the previous week’s already huge numbers. This performance, as per the report, puts Saiyaara on a direct path to shatter records. It is set to surpass the biggest third-weekend record for an Indian film, currently held by Pathaan (GBP £282K), in just two days. The UK gross will cross GBP £2 million by Sunday, with a final total of GBP £3 million now looking like a very realistic target.
Global Markets Show Unstoppable Momentum
The film’s success isn’t limited to one country; it’s a worldwide phenomenon.
In the United States, Saiyaara scored an impressive USD 165,000, holding strong with numbers comparable to giants like Pathaan and Jawan.
In the UAE, it clocked nearly USD 150,000, a figure second only to Jawan in recent memory for a third Friday. In Australia, it grossed AUD 70,000, placing it ahead of both Pathaan and Animal, and second only to Jawan.
With its third weekend projected to hit USD 2.75 million, Saiyaara remains firmly on course to cross the coveted USD 20 million milestone in its lifetime run overseas after crossing USD 15 million after 3rd weekend itself.
